Yo everyone will laugh at this but I’m being 100% serious...
It was hearing milkshake by Kelis and realising that all the instruments were intentionally out of time and the guitar was out of tune and the Indian percussion was actually on real drums and that the synth was an actual real vintage synthesiser. And the time signature was all weird...
That’s when I was like “wow. Pop music can actually be really intelligent, futuristic and dumb at the same time”
It blew my mind. |

A personal one for me was hearing the premier airing of Radioheads "Paranoid Android" on Radio 1 with Mark and Lard.. after they played it they were both gobsmacked (As was I). And they played it again. Straight away |

1996 Brit awards Class  "
I saw Pulp on consecutive weeks when they were touring This is Hardcore. I think they were at their peak as a live band then.
First show was Finsbury Park and they were great. But the second was a private Sony party where they played a 40 minute greatest hits set to a small crowd in a massive venue. I could stand wherever the hell I wanted and it was a privilege to see them at such close quarters.
The hunchback guitarist changed the Marshall on his amp to read Warhol. |

They were as cheesy pop as anyone could get and looking back it was a clever act to create just that choice of gig was as random as it could be |

There are many seminal moments for me but two stick out.
Seeing the Stones on TOTP doing Brown Sugar when I was about 6 years old was the beginning of a life long fascination with that band. Jagger wore a pink satin suit and they held an exhibition a couple of years ago and the suit was in it. It sent shivers down my spine seeing it at close quarters.
The other was George Michael’s performance at the Freddie Mercury tribute gig. His version of Somebody to Love was breathtaking particularly when you consider what George was going through in his personal life at that time; his Brazilian partner was dying of an AIDS related illness and George didn’t know if he was HIV positive. To draw on that emotion was stunning. |

Seeing Kylie on her comeback tour after she fought cancer. My friends will know I’m a huge huge Kylie fan and that concert is probably my all time favourite due to sheer emotions! Love that woman. |

On a personal note probably my biggest wow moment was Finsbury Park August 8th 1992 after a day of drinking, frivolity, and a certain Morrissey getting booed off stage, seven men walked back onto a stage together for the first time in 6 years - they stood there for what seemed like forever and joined 36,000 fans facing them in drinking in an atmosphere which was the most highly charged and electric I have ever known and which still gives me goosebumps when I think about it to this day...
...eventually that atmosphere erupted into sheer unbridled joy (and an earthquake - I kid you not!!) when one of those seven men took a microphone and as one with the crowd launched into "Hey you, don't watch that, watch this, this is the heavy heavy monster sound, the nuttiest sound around...."...
...what followed was 2 hours of sheer unabandoned delirium as 36,007 people celebrated the return of the Madnificent 7 - I saw skinheads crying their eyes out that day, everyone was absolutely deliriously happy, people fell over in the mosh pit and were helped back to their feet with a hug and a "You alright mate" and much more besides.
Not only one of my best gigs ever, but possibly one of the best days of my life. |

I was also there on this day...
Morrissey was amazing
"To the National,
There's a country; you don't live there,
But one day you would like to,
And if you show them what you're made of,
Oh, then you might do"
An iconic moment in music history. |

It’s cliche for me but ..... oasis @ Loch Lomond , before their knebworth gigs.
Stone roses Glasgow green, hearing the intro to i wanna be adored then Ian brown appearing on stage ... gave me chills.
First hearing the intro to slide away by oasis. was a wow moment. |

I saw her doing it on Jools and then live in Leicester.
One of the regrets of my life, could have gone to Reading for Nirvana but for some reason lost in the mists of time I didn't |
